Bio

I am a Lawyer by training and I am currently a Contracts Manager for a Global Bioethics research company. My most recent focus has been in the areas of legal research, legal writing, bioethics, and human rights. I'd love to provide mentorship in law, political science, legal writing, legal research, and contracts. Fashion is my second love- outside of the law, I enjoy being a personal shopper and styling my clients for events. I am an avid lover of all things outdoors and love traveling the world to explore. Traveling globally has been the best, most rewarding part of my life.

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Let's Get Ethical

There are so many global challenges plaguing the world today( global pandemics, advancements of AI etc.). For this project, you will identify the ethical concerns that arise from a specific global challenge. Then, you will research relevant ethical perspectives, and provide solutions to how the concerns may be addressed ethically and humanely.

Legally Speaking: An introduction in to Legal writing and Research

If Law school is your goal, let's have some fun! This project will mirror legal methods- a course taught the first year of Law School. I will provide an attention-grabbing fact pattern from which you will draft a legal memorandum. In this project, you will research and draft a persuasive legal memorandum. You will learn basic legal research skills, memorandum preparation, critical research and thinking skills. Lastly, you will learn to use this information to be persuasive in the construction of your memo.
